Yeah well done every single mapmaper out there and every mapmakingteam

you are the reason why the game is still alive from the BW days, without mapmakers spending so much time learning and perfecting the maps with the metagame. The game would never become as epic as it became BW that is.

Competative gaming was born in 1998 and you guys raised it.
And sc2 ppl (the lame ones) are the relatives who are fighting over who gets what from the will. BW dead (when kespa transfered in that sense)

Someone renamed the thread... who -.-

also, in response to the redditor who was complaining about the 8m2g aspect, this is what I said:

Please note it is a competition to give "amateur" mappers to get their maps tested, so it's not a "crazy" map competition per se. Also, it's a "guideline" so that people who are starting out can have an idea, and it's not a strict restriction. IF you have a great reason behind the custom mineral arrangement, the map will still be considered. However, maps that have custom mineral amounts but are not well-thought through will have a disadvantage.

Is there some received wisdom as to why that 2gold 4blue back door set up was not well thought out? I'm just curious.
But he is never making short-term prediction, everyone of his prediction are based on fundenmentals, but he doesn't exactly know when it will happen... So using these kind of narrowed "who-is-right" empirical analysis makes little sense.

Oh and this is a great thing for Crux, or any organisation, to do. Great maps make a great game.

He meant it the other way around tho, that the 2g4b is a nice and interesting set up not a bad one.

Dammit, now I actually have to open up the map editor and try to design something new. Although, knowing me, I'll attempt to design something new for ~10minutes, get annoyed, close the editor, open it back up ~3 days before deadline, modify an existing map...

Haha, this should be fun! Good luck all.

Post your submissions in this thread plz, it's fun to see what people submit!

I guess you can as long as it wasn't used anywhere, but it's boring . May be you oculd change it up a little bit before you submit it then.

Quite frankly, I understand that it could be boring, but considering that if they didn't win, it didn't get attention, I'm inclined to submit my old maps. I feel that they're good enough competitions but just didn't manage to win in the past. If I get a chance, I will look into improving them or making new maps though.

Work on the third one. Perhaps a bit on the aesthetics (which are good but hard to differentiate height) and some general proportion work. I like that one.
